The Effect of Antenna Incident Field Distribution on Microwave Tomography Reconstruction
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 145, 153-161, 2014
Abstract
For microwave tomography applications, we show that the utilized incident field distribution can affect the achievable image quantitative accuracy and resolution. In particular, for the synthetic cases considered here, it is shown that the use of a focused incident field distribution within the imaging domain often results in either enhanced or equivalent image reconstruction as compared to the use of an omnidirectional incident field distribution.
